The proposed circuit will allow you to remotely control a mains AC operated appliance across rooms of your home through mains power line communication or PLC concept. In PLC technology, an electronic circuit which works as a transmitter is plugged-in to the mains wiring (220 V or 120 V) injects a modulating high frequency data […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
0 to 50 V Adjustable Switching Power Supply Circuit using IC LM2576
In this article I will try to explain the construction of a 1.23 V to 50 V adjustable switching power supply circuit using the IC LM2576. The LM2576 family of regulators is a monolithic integrated circuit that performs all of the active operations of a step-down (buck) switching regulator. It offers exceptional line and load […]
How to Make a Powerful RF Signal Jammer Circuit
The post describes a simple homemade RF signal jammer circuit that can be used for jamming any RF signal within a radial range of 10 meters. The idea was requested by one of the interested readers of this blog. Technical Specifications I am not a large business interest, but am in need of a circuit […]
Ultrasonic Motion Detector Circuit
This ultrasonic motion detector circuit project picks up movement of any object including human beings from a distance of 4 to 7 meters away. As soon as the motion is detected, the output of the circuit illuminates a red LED indicating the presence of an obstacle or an intruder. However, using supplemental circuit stages connected […]
Mains AC Current Detector Switch Circuit
The circuit I have I have explained in this article allows one to detect the current consumed by a device and to power one or more other devices accordingly. Indeed, the solution of a switchboard is not always applicable because it is often not very practical. Furthermore, some devices such as computers only start when […]
How to Modify 78XX, LM323, LM350, LM317 Voltage Regulator Circuits
In this article I have explained many different methods of modifying voltage regulators ICs to improve their voltage and current handling characteristics. We learn how to externally modify these regulators using transistors and ICs for upgrading their current and power handling capacities. We discuss how to modify 78XX ICs, LM317 ICs, LM350 ICs, and LM323 […]
